Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Called to Abajo bar in Grey street with a group of friends on the way to the City Hall which is only 10 minutes walk away. We had a few of the tapas dishes we also had pizza and homemade chips and we couldn’t fault it, everything was tasty and delicious from the New Menu. We hope to return soon to try more dishes as there is plenty to choose from. Highly recommend"
"Great value and nice food. Service was good, made to feel welcome and not rushed at all. Imagine it is great for match days/sporting events due to the amount of TVs around and a spacious feel. Would return."
"Amazing meal at Abajo last night. We all had small plates to start, followed by mains and some desserts. Service was great, constantly checking if we needed any more drinks, sauces etc. Good selection of lagers & ales on offer, alongside a cocktail list that had the ladies excited. Raspberry Daiquiris went down a treat. The bar has plenty of tv screens for keeping up to date with any sport that’s on, we were treated to some Wimbledon coverage on our visit, as well as a pool table and darts board. We had a great time, and can’t wait to return for another visit. Thanks for the hospitality"

"Popped in with my sister and mum, the food was delicious, good portions, lots of spices and taste. Wine was nice, staff very friendly and just all round nice . It was quiet when we were in, due to time of day. But I can imagine it will be the ‘Place to be’ when a sporting event is on , loads of TVs , pool table, darts board and a huge variety of drinks , will def be back with the hubby , friends and more family. Hidden gem tucked away on Grey Street — get yourself down for great value for money as well as great food"
